Kevin Hayes - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Traded to Penguins Hayes was traded to Pittsburgh on Saturday, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Impact A second-round pick in 2025 goes with him, but it's the dreaded "future considerations" headed the other way in what's ostensibly a salary dump by the Blues. Hayes doesn't do much with the puck. He's not a fast skater, doesn't use his size and can't forecheck. But he can become a bottom-six pivot in Pittsburgh behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin where he won't be expected to provide offense.

Inconsistent with Blues Hayes posted 13 goals and 16 assists across 79 games during the 2023-24 season.

Impact Hayes centered the third line for most of the season, and his limited playing time -- he averaged 14:28 of ice time -- led to the worst scoring performance of his career. The 31-year-old ended up being a healthy scratch three times in April. Hayes has two years remaining on his contract at a cap hit of $3.6 million per year, and the Blues may want that contract off their books as they try to inject youth into their lineup during this rebuild.

Scores in win Hayes scored the Blues' first goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact That goal is Hayes' 13th goal and 27th point of the season. While the totals aren't gaudy, he's on something of a mini-hot streak. In the last four games, he's put up two goals and four points with 12 shots and a plus-5 rating. That's not exactly superstar-level production, but he's provided depth value recently, even if he had just one goal and no assists in the 10 games prior to this run.

Produces helper in overtime win Hayes logged an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Hayes has just two points over 13 games since the holiday break.

Hayes has 21 points, 84 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating through 46 appearances, so most fantasy managers can do better when looking for center depth.

He's at six tallies, six assists, 39 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 25 appearances overall. Hayes could have more fantasy upside as long as he's playing with Brayden Schenn and Jordan Kyrou.

Impact Hayes is skating on the second line and the second power-play unit. He has put forth modest returns with 11 points and 34 shots on net through 22 games. The 31-year-old forward won't be easy to depend on for fantasy purposes with 14:40 of ice time per game, but it wouldn't be surprising if he improved a bit considering he posted 54 points -- 16 with the man advantage -- through 81 games last year.

He ended up with three shots on goals with a hit, and he won an amazing 15 faceoff attempts in 19 tries in his 15:14 of ice time across 21 shifts. It's hard to believe, but with his assist in Anaheim on Sunday, Hayes has strung together points in consecutive games for the first time this season.

Draws assist Hayes recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Lightning.

Impact Hayes earned a helper on a Jakub Vrana tally in the second period. The assist was Hayes' first point in five games. The center is up to six points, 15 shots on net, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating through 14 contests. The Blues haven't scored a lot early in the season -- though their offense can be explosive at times. That's left Hayes on the periphery for point production in a third-line role.

Breaks out with three points Hayes scored twice, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Hayes' first goal of the season stood as the game-winner, and he also factored in on both empty-netters. The 31-year-old has struggled to adjust early in his Blues tenure -- he had just two assists over the first eight contests of the campaign before Friday's breakout. The center is at five points, nine shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating through nine appearances. While this was a positive step, Hayes is likely to remain in a bottom-six role until he shows more consistency.
